Italian Thrash/Death Metal band HELLMETALL has released the official video for “Mgła“, the title track of their forthcoming album, due out on September 4th, 2026 via Rockshots Records.

Originally released as a single on January 31st, 2026, “Mgła” introduced the darker direction of the band’s new material. Now, the song takes on a visual dimension through a video created and directed by Chiara Bettiga, translating its sombre atmosphere and historical subject into images. To date, “Mgła” is the only official video made for the record.

Meaning “fog”, “Mgła” draws inspiration from one of the darkest episodes of the First World War on the Italian-Austro-Hungarian front. The song recalls the gas attacks carried out by Austro-Hungarian and German forces against Italian soldiers during the battle near Plezzo, today Bovec in Slovenia.

The subject reflects the wider concept behind “Mgła“, an album built around events connected to the First and Second World Wars, including stories rooted in Val Resia and the surrounding borderlands, as well as memories handed down through generations. This historical dimension is closely tied to HELLMETALL‘s geographical and cultural background and to the band’s use of Resian, the local Slavic language.

Musically, “Mgła” represents the band’s move towards a darker blend of Thrash and Death Metal with elements drawn from Black Metal while retaining melodic references to the traditional music of Val Resia.

The new video brings the album campaign back to where it began with its title track. Since the release of “Mgła“, HELLMETALL has continued to reveal the record through “Gemona Btg. Doesn’t Exist Anymore” on May 18th and “Afrika” on July 3rd. Each track has offered a different perspective on the album and its historical narrative, with the focus now returning to “Mgła” as the full record approaches.

“Mgła” was written by HELLMETALL founder and vocalist Daniele Micelli, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Davide Zago, with drum engineering by Pablo De Biasi and cover artwork by Manuel Scapinello.

Twenty-five years is enough time for a cult film to acquire the patina of a period piece, but Gypsy 83 has always been preoccupied with people who regard the present tense as something to survive. Todd Stephens’s 2001 road trip movie follows two goth outsiders in Sandusky, Ohio: Gypsy Vale, played by Sara Rue, and her younger friend Clive Webb, played by Birkett Turton, whose devotion to Stevie Nicks offers both an aesthetic vocabulary and a plausible escape route. When they hear about New York City’s Night of 1000 Stevies, they climb into a car and head east, hoping that Gypsy might finally step onto a stage large enough for the person she imagines becoming.

This month, the film is heading back to theaters in a considerably updated form. Gypsy 83: The Director’s Cut has been restored in 4K from the original 35mm camera negative and expanded to 138 minutes, compared with the 95-minute version released in 2001. More than forty minutes of previously unseen material have been restored, along with nine additional music tracks. The new edition opened at New York’s Quad Cinema on August 14 and begins a Los Angeles engagement at the Nuart Theatre on August 21, with additional screenings scheduled around the United States through September.

For a movie so steeped in black clothes, pale faces, record collections, and the private language of fandom, Gypsy 83 has a surprisingly capacious heart. Gypsy and Clive are bonded by the sense that the lives available to them in Sandusky have already been written by other people. Their trip to Manhattan gives the film its engine, though Stephens is equally interested in the smaller humiliations and revelations that accumulate along the highway, where the pair encounter strangers whose desires prove no simpler than their own.

The legendary Karen Black appears as Bambi LeBleau, a faded lounge singer whose theatricality gives the travelers a glimpse of adulthood as both performance and improvisation. John Doe, of X, plays Gypsy’s father, Ray, while Paulo Costanzo and Anson Scoville round out a cast populated by characters who seem to exist just beyond the borders of respectable small-town life. The film places goth culture within an American road-movie tradition usually reserved for cowboys, drifters, runaways, and seekers, allowing eyeliner, Stevie Nicks devotion, queer longing, and friendship to occupy the passenger seat without requiring translation.

The film also occupies a central place in Stephens’s career. After writing and producing the 1998 coming-of-age film Edge of Seventeen, he made his directorial debut with Gypsy 83. Those two films, followed two decades later by Swan Song, form the Ohio trilogy through which Stephens has repeatedly returned to Sandusky, his hometown, as a setting for queer lives formed within the constraints of a Midwestern city.

Stephens and editor Anderson Matthew recut the picture from scratch, a process that ultimately stretched across several years. Stephens has said that locating the original negative required detective work after the New York laboratory that had stored it went out of business; the material was eventually traced to a vault in California. The recovered 35mm elements became the basis for the new 4K restoration.

Music, always central to the film’s conception of identity, has also been given more room. The restored soundtrack draws on The Cure, Cocteau Twins, Echo & the Bunnymen, Switchblade Symphony, Ministry, Alien Sex Fiend, and Clan of Xymox, alongside Diva Destruction’s cover of “Talk to Me” and Nobody’s Wolf Child’s rendition of “Song to the Siren.” The added material changes more than the running time: songs that once functioned as cultural shorthand can now inhabit scenes at greater length, giving the characters more space to live inside the music that helped them invent themselves

Altered Innocence is handling the new theatrical release. After its August 14–20 run at Quad Cinema, the film plays Los Angeles from August 21–27, followed by Seattle on August 26 and 27, San Francisco on August 27, Houston on August 29, Nashville on August 31, Philadelphia on September 3, and Denver on September 11. A home-video release is planned for later this year.

A quarter-century after Gypsy and Clive first pointed their car toward Manhattan, their destination may be the least interesting part of the trip. What has endured is the film’s understanding of subculture as a form of shelter: the clothes, songs, heroes, jokes, and gestures through which isolated people recognize one another before they have found a more permanent place to belong. The Director’s Cut returns to that idea with forty additional minutes and the advantage of time, allowing Stephens to revisit a film that once left him wounded and finally present the version he had been carrying with him all along.

In US cinemas now. Full dates and tickets can be found here.  Blu-ray and streaming will follow in November 2026.
